Omaha, Nov. 27. Attorney Howell
received notification from tho clerk of,
tho federal circuit court of appeals at
St. Louis that the ruling made by
.fudge W. II. Monger several years ago
In the case of the United States
against Theodore Kharas, In which
Kharas was on trial on the charge of
using the mails to defraud, was up
held. United States Marshal Warner
has been instructed to take Kharas
Into custody and he will at once begin
to servo tho four months' sentence In
the Leavenworth penitentiary Imposed
upon him, and will be required to pay

New York, Nov. 27. Miss Mildred
Sherman, who wed lrd Canioys in
the sick room of her father, William
Watts Sherman, at 838 Fifth avenue,
did not renounce her Protestant Epis
copal faith and bcome a Roman Cath
olic, as was stated In the published
announcement of thf marriage plans.
The following formal statement in
denial of the rumor was mndo by Law
rence L. Gllllefple, husband of a sistei
of Miss Sherman:
"The Sherman family authorizes Mr.
Lawrence L. Gillespie to deny that
Miss Sherman has given up her faith
and entered the Roman Catholic
church, or in even contemplating such
a step."
The marriage ceremony, Mr. Gil
lespie explained, was performed by a
Driest In the Roman Catholic ritual
for the reason that lrd Canioys Is a
Catholic and had received a special
dispensation to marry Miss Sherman.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Father William Neenan, rec
tor of St. Mary's church, at Newport,
and a personal friend of the bride's
father, although Mr, Sherman is not
of the same faith. Mrs. Sherman,
who is a daughter of the late John
Carter Drown, founder of Brown uni
versity and llfty times a millionaire,
is an Episcopalian.
The illness of Mr. Sherman, his
strong desire to witness the wedding
of his daughter rnd tho fear that he
may not live another week were re
sponsible for the change of plans.

Arousing People Against Proposed
Plan of Land Speculators Teachers
Are Flocking to Pierre.
Pierre, S. D., Nov. 27. Trains have
been bringing large delegations of
teachers and school officers to this
city for tho annual meeting of the
State Educational association. The
meeting began this morning and will
continue to Wednesday. One of the
features of the meeting was the un
veiling today of the statue of General
W. H. H. Beadle, which has been
placed In the state capitol as a tribute
to his efforts in regard to the state
school fund. General Beadle and his
daughter, Mrs. Frick of Eugene, Ore.,
were present at the ceremony.
Through his foresight itts assured
that the permanent school fund of the
salte will ultimately amount to be
tween $150,000,000 and $200,000,000.
The Interest on the permaneut school
fund soes to the support of the public
schools of the state. .
When South Dakota adopted Its con
stitution land speculators sought to
have a clause Inserted In the state
constitution fixing the value of the
school lands at $5 an acre. General
Pendle made the fight for the school
lands.
He traveled all over the Dakotas
on foot and on horseback, addressing
audiences here and there and impress
ing upon the people the Importance of
carefully safeguarding the school
lands. After a bitter fight, General
Beadle and those he had enlisted in
the fight succeeded In getting the
school and endowment land section In
serted in the state constitution.
Thta fixed the minimum value of all
these lands at $10 per acre. Not more
than twenty years had elapsed when a
part of these lands sold readily at $43
an acre.

teNes Best Man One of the Pall
Bearers.
Richmond. Va., Nov. 27 By the
grave of the wife whom he murdered
July 18, the body of Henry Clay Beat
tie, Jr., was buried in Maury cemetery
shortly after sunrise. There was a
brief service at the residence, attend
ed only by members of the family and
eight friends, who served as pall bear
ers, and then the procession moved
through the silent streets of South
Richmond. Rev. John J. Fix, who
prayed with Beattie Just before he
was led into the death chamber at the
penitentiary Friday niornijig, read the
service of the Presbyterian church.
To guard against possible annoy
ance, tne exact nour or. me ninenu
was kept secret until midnight and
conseauently there were no crowds
around the Beattie home or cemetery
Police wero on duty, but the hearse
and seven carriages had reached the
grave before the city was astir. When
the burial was concluded H. C. Beat-
tie, Sr., left with Douglas, his son, anrt
Hazel, his daughter, and two aunts of
the murderer. The aged father's
grief was intense.
The pall bearers, boyhood friends of
licattie, were asked by him to serve.
Several of them had testified in his
defense at the trial and one was his
best man when he and Louise Well
ford Owen were married, exactly one
year from the date he pleaded not
guilty of her murder in court. A flor
ist's wagon, completely filled with
flowers, entered the cemetery gates
Just after daylight and the mound of
earth was hidden beneath chrysanthe
mums and Immortelles.
After it became known that, the fu
neral had. already been held a tremen
dous crowd visited the cemetery.
Doub'e ropes were stretched around
the Beattie section and two mounted
policemen in addition to officers afoot
keut the crowds back. There was no
disorder, however, and no attempt to
tcke away the flowers.
A Correction.
In justice lu all parties cou-
cerneit i tie jnuri.&i lias iteen re-
uc:letl In publish the following
facts in regard to misstatements
'mule in the issue of November
?5 containing an account of the
ire which destroyed Manspcak-
s livery barn: lhe manager of
the light company did not request
us to rut electric wires at the pole
nor were they cut by lhe manager
himself. The electric meter in the
Manspeaker barn was removed by
J. F. Warga after the manager of
the light company had made a
futile attempt to do so. The gas
meter in the Schildknecht hause
was also removed by J. F. Warga
after the gas had been turned off
by him. After the fire was under
control the 1,100-volt lines were
put back on the poles by II. I.
Cecil. The pole at which the
connection had been made was
badly charred, and was thus
weakened and had to be braced by
means of pike poles in order that
the work could be carried on with
some degree of safety.
We believe that the proper
credit should go to the men that
do the work and we wish to state
that we are always ready to do our
part, to aid and assist tho manager
of the light company, even though
we are not regular employes of
his company.
